Lunar New Year falls on Tuesday, February 17th. The holiday is also referred to as the Spring Festival, and according to Britannica, it begins with a new moon and lasts until the following full moon, which is roughly fifteen or sixteen days.

The holiday marks the transition of Chinese Zodiac signs. This year, we bid farewell to the snake and enter the Year of the Horse.

This brings a vibrant energy, and symbolism for adventure, forward motion, and vitality. Let’s mark the Year of the Horse with a fiery playlist fitting of the celebration.
